Larry

You were such a patient man, the hardest working guy

Never once afraid to sweat as the years went flying by

I remember Friday nights, wrestling on the screen

And cheering at your baseball games, watching from the green

Always showing up for us, steady and so strong

Right there for your family, where you always belonged

Dad, you taught me how to work, to give it all I had

Never to mistreat the ones you love, a wonderful dad

You shaped me into who I am, through every single choice

I love you, and I really miss your voice

I think about my wedding day, walking down the aisle

The tears began to fall from me, but you just wore a smile

You joked to make me laugh a bit and calm me in the crowd

Saying, "It's a little too late to cry now"

It worked just like you wanted, you took away the fear

I'd give anything to have you standing right back here

Dad, you taught me how to work, to give it all I had

Never to mistreat the ones you love, a wonderful dad

You shaped me into who I am, through every single choice

I love you, and I really miss your voice

Talking about the cars, you'd say, "Run it 'til it won't run anymore"

"Duct tape is gonna fix whatever's torn"

"Hold on a minute, it's not on sale yet"

These are the little echoes I will never forget

Dad, you taught me how to work, to give it all I had

Never to mistreat the ones you love, a wonderful dad

You shaped me into who I am, through every single choice

I love you, and I really miss your voice

Yeah, I love you, and I really miss your voice
